How to Edit, Enable, and Disable a Custom Module

This topic explains how to edit, enable, and disable a custom module. When enabled, custom modules appear in the main system menu. Permission to access each module is granted automatically to its author and members of the Global Administrators profile. However, access can be granted manually to other users. For details, see Chapter 17: Administration -> Access Control.
